You're from Hull, it's for those big noisy birds in the sky that you all throw rocks at when they pass over.

Only suggestion I'd make would be to build them up at the back, this would benefit two fold imo, 1) allowing air to circulate and 2) of it's a breeze wall for instance (like a garage where I keep mine) you're not scratching the unit.

Yeah, I just never fitted one because I didn't want to distress the dog if it fa'd, but tbf over the last 13 years he's probably only ever been left in the house a few times a year.
We've only been setting it regularly for a few years (maybe 3-4) as well.

I don't have any internal sounders either, never bothered because of the dog. Keypads only.

Same as PJ, we do have a sounder on the front but it went faulty about 10 years ago and I have never bothered replacing it.

Bargain and at least you now know its sorted.

What makes you think the fault is in the 4 inches that you cut off? Where does it run from to? By that, I mean does it run under the floor or around the skirting board, under the carpet etc?
I read it as put on a fly lead.

Good point, well put.

Hello and welcome, have a look at the forum rules and apply for trade status, there's a lot more going on in the trade side (I'm probably overselling it a bit tbf though)

Cheap @ 250 if the alternative is lying on your back on the floor.

Looks like PJ finally found his subbies for London...

Calm down grandad, you're arguing with yourself again.

Blue/white for the alarm pair and green/yellow for the tamper here, seen every combo tho.

*cracks out the ouija board.
Arf, is that you?

A quick Google says Ring have c 8 million units in the US alone, I agree with the closed platform etc, I read a while ago they also log everything although not sure if true or to what level.
But at those numbers it shows what I've always said, 99% of people don't give a shiny shite and Amazon (Google etc) will continue to develop their own plug and play 'security' business that will sell by the millions.

I have never suggested that the customer should know the engineer code from the start. My suggestion was that the customer should have a code of his own making to be used to shut down the system when he no longer required it which would be as secure as his customer access code. I've left the handling of the system entirely to ADT when I required it but now simply want to disable it and nothing will convince me that ADT don't make it difficult so they can bag another £200. Not surprised as I feel my my mails have been scanned rather than read.
I do not have a man with a hammer coming either because I want the chips intact to amuse myself with during this epidemic. I've noticed my electrician getting snide remarks here and don't like it.
I anticipated cancellation so insured the place with no alarm
Not had a sensible response to any of my other points as obviously you've all got vested interests in alarm systems and simply sing the lingo. My mistake coming here.
Bye
Trust me, your pissy £200 is more of a hindrance to their operations than you care to think, non contract customers are a pain in the arse.

Good to see it's got a proper alarm system...

Anyway all of this is by the by as you have a man with a hammer coming to sort it for you.
Have you told your insurer that you no longer have an alarm btw?

Keyless Car Theft

Previous Volvo had it, just kept the key in the middle of the house.
Quite a few now go inactive when not moved for a few minutes. Current car needs to be pressed for lock/unlock but can be left in my pocket.
Obvious one is a Faraday pouch but they vary in quality and also deteriorate over time.
